Arthur Linwood was a medical student in his final year.
Biography[[edit] | [edit source]]
Linwood observed the first use of the Keller Machine in Stangmoor Prison, where he met Daily Chronicle journalist James Stevens, who was also an observer. (PROSE: Who Killed Kennedy)
Shortly afterwards, Linwood became the first victim of the machine when it killed him by turning his fear of rats against him.
His fear was so great that rat bites and scratches manifested on his face and neck, causing him to die from shock at being attacked by rats in the empty Process Theatre. (TV: The Mind of Evil)
Behind the scenes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Interestingly, the novel Who Killed Kennedy accidentally depicted the same person present at the demonstration of the Keller Machine as James Stevens and Arthur Linwood. In the novel, it is described that Stevens eavesdrops on the conversation after the meeting by "studying" the Keller Machine. In actuality, it is Linwood who studies the machine within the episode, although his character went unnamed until Who Killed Kennedy was published in April 1996.
